Carbon Interface Overview

Carbon Interface MCP server exposes Carbon Interface API v1 tools for estimating emissions from electricity, flights, and vehicle travel. It supports a hosted MCP endpoint through Pipeworx and a local stdio package for clients that do not need gateway routing. Results include emissions in grams, kilograms, and metric tons where supported, plus flight totals and per-passenger values. Use it when an agent needs activity-based carbon estimates from structured travel, energy, or driving inputs.

Primary Use Cases for Carbon Interface:
  • Estimate electricity emissions from regional energy consumption
  • Calculate flight emissions for passengers and airport legs
  • Estimate driving emissions for a selected vehicle model
  • Route natural-language carbon questions through the hosted gateway
